4 Things I Hate That Everyone Else Loves

This post was inspired by a segment on Matt Bellassai’s Podcast, Unhappy Hour. If you haven’t checked it out, Dear God you’re missing out! I mean, when you have an episode entitled, We Smell Like Beef, how is it not going to be funny? Anyway, when he interviews guests, he asks them what is one thing that everyone else loves that you hate. This got me thinking about the things I hate that everyone else loves. It doesn’t make me a curmudgeon, just what I would like to think is an honest person. Don’t get me wrong, on a few of the below, I’ve tried to like them, I just don’t. Here is my list. Now, I want to hear in the comments what is something you hate that everyone else loves!

The Bachelor/Bachelorette

I’ve never watched an episode nor do I intend to; ever. Sure, I’ve flipped the channels, came across an episode, watched approximately 13 seconds of it, rolled my eyes and moved on, but I’ll never watch this stupid show. I don’t need to see women and men with the IQ of a tennis ball (collectively) fight over a person they’re going to divorce in 5 years anyway. For the few seconds I’ve watched this show, I’ve lost brain cells. Like legit, I’ll look for my car keys after watching 10 seconds and can’t remember where I put them. Why? Because the Bachelor and/or Bachelorette has dumbed me down. It really should be a scientific experiment. Like we could torture terrorist with binge watching this show and after a weekend of viewing it, you’d open their cell to find them a drooling, shitting mess of a baby. We could end terrorism with the Bachelor/Bachelorette. Hmm…..ok, maybe I’m on to something.

Sushi

Anyone that declares, “oh, I just love sushi” should honestly be punched in the throat. Food love is reserved for only the following: all red meats, especially filet mignon, pizza, any sort of potato, coffee, wine and baked goods. Sushi is like a science experiment gone incredibly wrong.

“Dr. Sushi, what are you working on this morning? Have we figured out how to eradicate hunger from the planet?”

“I think so! I’ve developed a recipe that only requires the addition of rice!”

“Interesting, tell me more!”

“Well Dr. Dolittle you see, I take Earth’s abundant resource of seaweed, lay it flat and top with rice. Next, I take a scraper and scrape all of the fish particles, giz and anything else that fell to the bottom of the sea and lay it on top of the rice. I then roll it up.”

“Interesting. What are you calling this scientific breakthrough”

Dr. Sushi chuckles.

“Well my good fellow, I’m thinking of naming it after myself, Sushi! And the best thing? Until the planet gets hungrier, I have about a penny in each roll, I can sell these turds for roughly $2 a roll!”

And for anyone that pretends to be more cultured than me because they “love” sushi, guess what? Jokes on you. I’m not the one eating fish giz with a side of ocean weeds.

Real Housewives

All the housewives! Whoever created this show should be taken to a deserted island and left to fend for themselves. I don’t care if it’s housewives in Atlanta, NYC, LA or the trailer park, this show is the worst. If I wanted to watch people fight like cats and dogs, all I have to do is go into the next room and watch my sons fight like gladiators to the death.

These women aren’t even what most of America would deem housewives. It should be called the Real Trophy Wives of _________. And they aren’t even trophies/humans as their flesh to plastic ratio is in the ballpark of 40/60. These women remind me of those creepy Japanese robots you see on documentaries where a nerd has fallen in love with them and the robot’s mouth is this odd, thick-lipped “O”. Which let’s be real, that’s something the housewives and the robots probably have in common.

Calling your significant other babe

God this gets on my nerves.

“You want coffee babe?”

“What time is the parent teacher conference babe?”

“I have to go #3 babe.”

Ugh! My husband can’t stand it either. It’s so bad that we call each other babe but in a completely sarcastic way. Often times we take it a step further and call each other bae.

Ok, I’m turning the tables, what is 1 thing everyone else loves that you hate?

Since I can’t put this emoji in the comments, I’ll type it: CLAPPY HANDS, CLAPPY HANDS, CLAPPY HANDS!! Good for you! If I’m going to a bar, the only food it should include are the little cherries and oranges that go into the drinks!

???? right behind you with that sushi punch…! I hate reality tv… is it even reality? It just seems really exaggerated and well over the top stupid…and as much as I like human interest content… meh… not to that extent…

You’re so right! It’s not even reality. Reality isn’t 10 bimbos sitting in a house, trying to get the attention of a male bimbo. That’s not reality, that’s essentially ways to kill brain cells. Again, this would be a great way to torture terrorists.

OH NO YOU DIDN’T! Sushi and babe? I’m contemplating our friendship at this point. LOL! And bacon? OMG, I love bacon so much that if there were a bacon perfume invented, I’d probably be the spokesperson. You’d see me in a black and white commercial, walking up to a card game. I’d pull paper towel earrings from my earlobes and say, “these have always removed the grease”. I do hope you know the commercial I’m referencing so I don’t look crazy.

I loathe even the smell of pumpkin spice anything. The people at my work are eagerly anticipating the return of the pumpkin spice, and all I can think about is that the office will have that horrible stench until the season is finally over. Gag!

Oh no! And I hate to tell you this but I love that coffee….and the smell. How do you get by in the Fall with that smell being replicated everywhere? Tim Hortons? McDonalds, etc. That must be horrible for you!

I hate two out of the four things as well! I do enjoy sushi but just not the raw fish…technically I like maki rolls and hand rolls hehe. And I also call my person babe. But not all the time. It’s usually hun or hunny haha

Lol I LOVE fish giz with a side of ocean weeds!! I mean, I don’t think that makes me cultured, I just really love the taste of it when it’s good. When the fish isn’t super fresh, then it’s possibly my least favourite thing in the world!

I hate the smell of sushi! I’m allergic to seafood anyways but it just stinks so I’ve never even been curious to how it tastes. I hate all of the same things, actually. Oh, and Twilight, Vampire Diaries, The Walking Dead, etc.
